Re: DX Lab glasses ?
Pete Smith
My situation (two
monitors and trifocals) is the same as yours, but so far, at
least, I have not been troubled. I have taken care to place my
two 27"monitors close together side-by-side at a height that
avoids neck pain, for me anyhow. I have also experimented with
a pair of 2.5 diopter drugstore glasses, and find they work
fine, but since the middle range of my trifocals also works
well, I have opted to avoid the inconvenience of swapping
glasses. 73, Pete N4ZR Check out the new Reverse Beacon Network web server at <https://reversebeacon.net>. For spots, please use your favorite "retail" DX cluster. On 7/17/2022 9:36 PM, Andrew OBrien

DX Lab glasses ?
Andrew OBrien
With many DX Lab users using two large screen monitors for all the DXL features , I wonder if users have advice on eye glasses ? I use two monitors and wear prescription tri-focals. Increasingly , I find myself having neck pain as I shift my head/eyes to the various Windows . With an upcoming annual eye exam , I thought I would see if users here have advice . I have read that professional optometry organizations feel there is “no need for computer glasses “ Andy K3UK |

Yes it was checked and unchecking it fixed the problem. Since I only have one radio I don't know why it was checked. Thanks for your quick response. 73, Paul W5PF

IP Address for Flex6000
Paul W5PF
Recently, within about the last month, Commander does not retain the correct IP address for my Flex6600. When it starts up it has the incorrect address. I have to input the proper address and hit the reset button for it to work properly. The incorrect address is always the same (169.254.27.78). The address for my radio does not change, it is 192.168.1.17.
I have tried saving my Commander configuration into my workspace after changing the address, but that makes no difference. I am running Win7 with Commander 15.4.4, Launcher 2.1.7,DXkeeper 16.7.1, DXview 4.8.9 and Spotcollector 9.2.1. I looked for help concerning the IP address on the Commander configuration help page, but that says the IP address is only for the K4 and Thetis radios. How do I make Commander remember the proper IP address? Thanks, Paul W5PF |

DXKeeper 16.7.1 is available
Dave AA6YQ
Before installing or upgrading to DXKeeper 16.7.1,
if you are using Window Defender Antivirus on Windows 10 or Windows 11, update it to its latest malware definition in https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/definitions This version - in the QRZ panel on the Configuration window's Callbook tab, expands the name of the "Ignore geocoded grid squares" option to "Ignore geocoded grid squares, latitudes, and longitudes" - provides a "Preferred Location Source" panel on the Configuration window's Callbook tab that operates as described in https://groups.io/g/DXLab/message/209060 (tnx to Stewart G0LGS and Joe W4TV) - corrects a regression introduced in DXKeeper 16.3.7 that gives Callbook data preference over data from previous QSOs when logging via the Main window's "Log QSOs" tab (tnx to Stewart G0LGS) - corrects a regression introduced in DXKeeper 16.5.7 that fails to initialize a new QSO's Propagation Mode item if "Default Propagation Mode by Band" is not enabled on the Configuration window's Defaults tab (tnx to Julio W4HY) - eliminates unnecessary DXView and Pathfinder lookups during invocations of the "Sync LoTW QSOs", "Sync LoTW QSLs", and "Sync eQSL QSLs" functions (tnx to Jon KM8V) - updates the Configuration.htm, Import.htm, and QSL.htm documentation files Notes: 1. Update your firewall and anti-malware applications to consider this new version of DXKeeper to be "safe" a. JOTTI virus scan: 0 of 15 scanners detected malware in this version's executable b. VirusTotal: 0 of 69 scanners detected malware in this version's executable c. submitted to Microsoft for analysis by Windows Defender: no malware detected in this version's executable 2. To view QSOs with missing Propagation Mode items as a result of the regression in DXKeeper 16.5.7, filter the Log Page Display with the SQL expression (QSO_BEGIN>#2022-05-21#) and (LEN(PROP_MODE)=0) 2A. If all the Propagation Mode items of all of these QSOs should be set to the same value -- e.g. F2 -- then 2A1. backup your log (Configuration window, Log tab, Backup button) 2A2. in the "Modify QSOs" panel at the bottom of the "Advanced Sorts, Filters, and Modifiers" window, 2A2a. set the "Item name" selector to PROP_MODE 2A2b. set the "Item new value" selector to the correct propagation mode (e.g. F2) 2A2c. click the Mod button 2B. If all the Propagation Mode items of all of these QSOs should be set to different values as a function of Band or Date Range, then make the corrections in segments. For example, to set PROP_MODE as a function of Band: 2B1. backup your log (Configuration window, Log tab, Backup button) 2B2. filter the Log Page Display with (QSO_BEGIN>#2022-05-21#) and (LEN(PROP_MODE)=0) and (Band = '6M') 2B3. use the "Modify QSOs" panel to set the PROP_MOD in all QSOs in the Log Page Display to ES 2B4. filter the Log Page Display with (QSO_BEGIN>#2022-05-21#) and (LEN(PROP_MODE)=0) and (Band <> '6M') 2B5. use the "Modify QSOs" panel to set the PROP_MOD in all QSOs in the Log Page Display to F2 3. If this upgrade doesn't work correctly, see the "After an Upgrade" section of http://www.dxlabsuite.com/dxlabwiki/ApplicationStoppedWorking 4. After upgrading, to revert to the previous version of DXKeeper, see http://www.dxlabsuite.com/dxlabwiki/RevertApplicationVersion DXKeeper 16.7.1 is available via the DXLab Launcher and via http://www.dxlabsuite.com/download.htm 73, Dave, AA6YQ |

updated eQSL AG, LoTW, and RDA databases are available...

...via the Databases tab of DXView's Configuration window.
Please terminate DXKeeper and SpotCollector before upgrading these Databases. DXKeeper 16.7.1 is also now available; if you intend to upgrade DXKeeper, wait to restart DXKeeper until after it's been updated. 73, Dave, AA6YQ |

Re: VARA AC contacts

Hi Dave –
I changed the Mode for my VarAC contacts from DATA to VARA HF.
When I try to upload these Qs to LoTW, I get the following error:

I checked, and I have TQSL Version 2.6.4, and Configuration Data Version 11.20, which are reported to be the latest available.
Will TQSL have to be updated so that Vara HF will be able to be uploaded to LoTW?

Re: VARA AC contacts

Just to make it clear, if you're talking about VarAC - that's an application, not a mode. Having an ADIF mode for VarAC would be equivalent to having an ADIF mode for WSJT-X. 73, -Rick On Sat, Jul 16, 2022 at 1:26 PM Dave AA6YQ <aa6yq@...> wrote: + AA6YQ comments below --
